Forgive my usual confusion but although I'm familiar with MT and JT type tapers what is a "B" taper?
I've a few decent chucks lying about which I use on the lathe but wanted to stick one of the better ones on the drill press as the current chuck has waaay too much run-out. The specs (it's one of the older green Rexon models) show the spindle taper being a "B16" and the chuck I want to mount on it has a receiving JT3 taper. Is there such a thing as a B16 to JT3 female arbour? Rather than getting one milled, any likely sources? Or any other ideas? Worth taking the spindle taper out?
